Chapter 323 New Possibilities

She pondered when she thought to last night, but seeing him being intimate with another woman did not make her sad and painful as she was steeling herself for. She felt in these two nights that he very much desired her as a woman, and that made her happy. She did not know why there was no uncomfortable feeling, and she was not interested in finding a reason. It was when one felt unhappy that they would search for a reason for this unhappiness, and a reason did not matter for a happy person.

'If only I met him earlier'

Was the only thought that somewhat made her melancholic, but she did not linger on it since it was not of much use to dwell on the past.

As Wu Long expected, as soon as he stepped into the Revolving Qi Realm his speed of cultivation plummeted, with even an intense cultivation session with both of them not bringing him much further from the gate of the realm, much less to the 1st level.

He was not discouraged, however, since he was already moving at a much faster pace than he had once in his past life, and he also had some ideas for improving his cultivation speed as well.

After spending some time cuddling in the bed, and relishing the warm and fuzzy feelings the three got up to start the day. As they saw off Sui Luxiao to the Soaring Feather Trading Company, Wu Long picked up some ingredients he asked her to gather the day before, and then escorted Wu Mengqi to meet with Song Lingfei.

As he greeted Chu Ren who was responsible for guiding the beauty to the princess, a light rain started coming down while he turned to the direction of a tiny house with a courtyard.

Wu Long did not bother taking out an umbrella and enjoyed the feeling of the raindrops, listening to the monotonous and yet at the same time unique music of water drops hitting the surrounding pavement, dry leaves scattered on the streets, roof tiles, plants and other surfaces.

The rain gradually intensified as the autumn leaves beneath his feet were still dry and producing a loud crunching sound with each step, as the sound of raindrops hitting them became louder and louder.

He suddenly remembered that time when he just awakened in this world, feeling the mortal needs he was gradually being freed of now, and renewed his awe and gratitude for this moment, when he was alive, when he had his women and could embrace them, as each passing moment brought him a new sensation.

"Hm?"

The raindrops streamed down his skin, and as he felt the water droplets slide he suddenly felt a quiver in the Lightning Rune, as if it reacted to something.

He paused, standing in the rain that gradually began pouring more and more as a flash of light illuminated the rapidly darkening from the clouds skies and a roar of thunder resounded with a little delay, echoing out into a continuous rolling sound.

His consciousness concentrated on the Lightning Rune that became slightly agitated, as if excited. As he gradually increased the amount of Spiritual Qi that it could consume it quivered more and more as if calling out to something.

He was already passively circulating the Chaos Refining Body Tempering art so he just used it to start refining the little bit of Water Qi he felt appearing in the rain, and then more and more.

After some time, a Dao Rune coagulated in his Dantian, his eyes opening wide with a surprised, but joyous expression. The Lightning Rune resonated with a Water Rune, drawing it in and causing it to manifest.

But unlike the Lightning Rune that struggled to break free when it was caught the Water Rune started swimming through Wu Long's veins on its own, greedily absorbing his Spiritual Qi as if preferring it to the natural Spiritual Qi of the air.

It seemed that his natural affinity leaned toward Water attribute more than the Lightning attribute, which was possible even if he did not posses an elemental attribute as a cultivator.

"Hmm, it is worth a try"

He gradually used his Spiritual Qi and blood to completely make the Water Dao Rune completely at home in his body, and then a strand of his Soul Power went to it, something he was not yet confident enough to attempt with the Lightning Rune. He was not completely sure of success, but this attempt might give him more information for a future attempt or even about how to approach the Lightning Rune later.

As he stood in the rain, the water streamed down the streets and the leaves that became completely wet started streaming down along with the water.

A subtle link formed between his Niwan Palace and the Water Dao Rune, and a profound ripple spread from him as the rain froze a few meters around him for a few moments before continuing to fall down. He felt a connection with the rain pouring down around, every drop becoming a beacon of his senses.

'I see, so this is...'

Through this link he understood that he finally obtained one elemental attribute, and he received its blessing even in his current realm, which told him that a contract with a Dao Rune was slightly different than a cultivator's own natural elemental attribute which only awakened in the next Great Realm.

He raised his hand and feeding his attribute-less Spiritual Qi to the Water Dao Rune, produced Water Qi, which, after leaving his body quickly accumulated a drop of water from the air.

"Hmm, the practical use is still limited, but the possibilities are there"

He observed the water droplet that was quickly distinguished from the rain falling down around in his consciousness, moving it around a little distance above his palm as it avoided the raindrops.

'It consumes quite a lot of Spiritual Qi to maintain control of it though'

He thought as the consumption was quite straining even for him. This little droplet might not consume much but if he wanted to use this in battle it would be quite a burden.

"Let's see"

As he let it fall into a puddle down below that streamed down he still felt it as it went down the stream. With the manipulation of Water Qi, the droplet separated from the stream and came to him again.

'Hmm, can I change it's properties?'

He thought as he looked at the water drop, but it proved a lot harder than he thought as his control over the element was still elementary.

He still smiled at the achievement, as the water he was drenched in quickly left his clothes and he went forward again. The drops of rain were clearly touching him, but slid as if touching a surface that did not soak, sliding down his hair, skin and clothes and not wetting them.
